Aodh ( ee, ay, Irish: [iː, eː], Scottish Gaelic: [ɯː]; Old Irish: Áed) is a masculine Irish and Scottish Gaelic given name, which was traditionally anglicized as Hugh. The name means 'fire' and was the name of a god in Irish mythology. The name features in the Irish surnames Mac Aodha (lit. 'son of Aodh'; anglicized as McGee/McHugh/McKee) and Ó hAodha (lit. 'descendant of Aodh'; anglicized as Hayes/Hughes/O'Hea), and the Scottish surname Mac Aoidh ('son of Aodh'; anglicized McKay). The name has a number of derived forms, including: The feminine forms Aodhnait and Aodhamair. Aodhán (Old Irish: Aedán), anglicized as Aidan, formed by the addition of the diminutive suffix -án.

Maodhóg (Old Irish: Máedóc), anglicized as Mogue, derived from the pet form m'Aodhóg ('my little Aodh').
